When you click on the dl links, you will see a folder of files. There is a link at the top to download the entire folder at once, instead of one track at a time.

ETA:I think that audio recordings of live shows are where it’s at.

Good quality recordings of live shows are great for the artist in terms of viral marketing and great for the fans, but there is always the risk that once the recordings are out there, someone could burn them to discs and start selling them on eBay or someplace else. It is this risk that makes many artists hesitant to come right out and publicly state that they allow or even encourage taping of their live shows. And it is this risk that makes some artists come out against audience recordings all together.

Every time a pirate sells a show, the artists who preformed the show thinks twice about allowing audience recordings. Every time a pirate sells a show, it puts the tradition of sharing live music for free at risk.

If you enjoy these recordings, and you would like to get more free recordings of you favorite artists performing live, then please support the artists by buying their albums, going to their shows, and reporting the illegal sale of taped shows whenever you see them.

Just to remind everyone that Taylor has asked for no recordings. I made the mistake of assuming it was lifted when pictures were allowed at The Roxy and posted this blog’s link on one of his fansites. Sorry Taylor! And as much as I would love these versions, I won’t be downloading them.

Live Show Policy
Please note that for all live appearances, there is a strict no recording policy. This applies to all video recording devices, including amateur and professional video cameras as well as cellular telephones. This policy will be strictly enforced.

How lucky are we that the crowd was cool for this show? I’ve heard a lot of pretty reasonable ‘amateur’ recordings wrecked by crowd noise that puts the performer in the background. So having a cool Roxy crowd on the floor when a real taper happened to be there —- SCORE!

What a great treat and what a wonderful job. I cannot comprehend the amount of time you put into this.
Yes, it’s all about the music and I applaud you for putting it out there for us.
I hope you’re enjoying some kick back time. 🙂

Lisa, I’ve had a chance to listen to your tape a couple of times now, and I just want to say, this is a terrific recording. I know how hard it is to get a good capture of a highly amplified show. This is so clear and balanced, no distortion or reverb that I notice in listening for pleasure. Finding that sweet spot to record, doing your own dancing and cheering on the inside, so as not to disturb the sound: well done, girl!

Lisa, can’t thank you enough for these files .. have some idea of the effort and $$ you’ve put into learning to do this. Am very grateful for the taper community because, like you, I’d rather have good audio than video 95% of the time.
It would be wonderful if Taylor would recruit tapers everywhere he does shows and file a permission letter with archive.org so they could upload there. For someone like TH who is so good in a live setting, having show audio available is a great way to keep the fan base “fed” and recruit new people as well.

Basenji, so very glad to see your post .. you have been missed.
(btw AH = AgingHippie)

AH, as I understand it, Taylor did give Archive.org permission to host his shows, pre-Idol. But then Idol came along and put the kabosh on everything post-Idol. Now that he’s his own man, perhaps he will update his permission there. I hope so!

As far as recruiting tapers…yeah, that would be cool. I also hope some more fans get into audio recording. Fans like maybe you, AH!

I started because Dewey inspired me… I’m just a beginner with some fairly inexpensive mics and a recorder…If you go to a lot of concerts, and the idea of trying to get the best audio you can sounds fun, it’s a great hobby.
